Spend a day turning freshly cut coppice wood into useful and saleable products.
We’ll start with the basics – hedging stakes, beanpoles, weaving rods & pea-sticks – before moving on to splitting and weaving with hazel, and investigating different and perhaps entirely new coppice creations!
Over the course of the day, we will cover:
- How to use your body to measure out poles and rods in the woods.
- How to effectively extract, point & bundle coppice products.
- Splitting and weaving with hazel to create hurdles and baskets.
- Investigating other coppice woods and products (sycamore, ash, chestnut).
- Using traditional green woodwork devices to cleave and shape green coppice wood.
Book a place on Introduction to Coppicing and the total cost for both courses will be £150!
